Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 61){ عَلٰۤى اَنْ نُّبَدِّلَ اَمْثَالَكُمْ …:} That is, We are by no means incapable of replacing you with others like you, and of transforming your forms into those you do not know, for example, by disfiguring your faces and turning you into apes or swine. This contains a severe rebuke. See also Surah An-Nisa (133), Al-An'am (133), and Ibrahim (19, 20).
